On May 19, 2015, Palomacy founder Elizabeth & rescued King pigeon Dylan (bred to be butchered as squab) visited Animal Place Farm Sanctuary’s Rescue Ranch in Vacaville to firm up plans for a long-sought collaboration that will help save the lives of King Pigeons who have evaded the butcher and survived “release” to the streets but face death in Bay Area animal shelters for want of adopters.

Hello
Welcome to Animal Place
This is where Animal Place began
Jan & Dylan (rescued King Pigeon). Jan cares for all of the animals at the Rescue Ranch
Rooster Radio and some of his beautiful ladies (“spent” hens saved from slaughter by AP)
Out of cages, off of wire, free to move, stretch their wings, express their feelings, be themselves
Future site of a life-saving aviary for rescued King pigeons!
Jan & Dylan are ready to make this happen!

The chickens and pigeons will be neighbors
Elizabeth is an Animal Place intern. It was her rescuing of a pigeon (which interrupted a chicken dinner) that inspired her to become vegan.
The pigeon aviary will be in the clearing behind where Jan & Elizabeth are silhouetted
Their covered porch has a very aviary-friendly design!
Jan & Elizabeth- ready to help pigeons!
